Razor: Vector Ti
Blade: Proline
Brush: Spartan Custom/Cashmere
Soap: 345 Cairn
AS 1: Witch Hazel
AS 2: Ethos Fresh Lime
Fragrance: Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,713

Had a sample of 345 Cairn and read the scent notes which are:

Scent notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Jasmine, Pineapple, Cedar, Ozone, Sandalwood. it's a clean, grassy aquatic!

It smelled fresh and clean and that's what I saw in the notes list basically. The lather whipped up quickly but didn't take much waterat all and was easily overwhelmed by the water in the synthetic brush to the point of serviceable but thin and slightly airy. As I lathered it I got this pnungent metallic smell and not in a plesant way. Relooked at the notes and saw ozone. Upon goolgling, I found the metallic note. Not a plesant scent to me but it may be my olfactory resptors and others may like it. Too many great soaps out there with water needs that match my lathering for me to go back to this company. Still a nice shave and hope all have a great day and weekend !

Just a suggestion:  Keep the worms.  Go fishing. 

The 6S is such a classic. Great shave. How did you polish it?

I traded a brush to Alan who had this razor and had polished it. I'd normally use a 6 Plate but a 5 works after the polish because.......well, you know the story recently on polishing. I love the 6S and glad I can still use after the polish because of choice of plates. Thanks ALI

Well MaineYooper pushed me over the edge and I pulled the trigger on a razor set I had been watching out of curiosity and the great deal it appeared to be for it. Thanks Eric, we'll see how I get along with it. Plenty of options to try and find a good fit. Masamune Razor - top cap, SB and OC plates. Also Nodachi top cap and SB plate. And a stand.
